500 x 500 pixels 42 strokes Processing version 0067 !     Originally a Java applet (2004). Now running in your browser as a p5.js port of the original source.

The Sand Stroke is applied here in it's most basic form. Each image is composed of approximately 42 sand strokes. Each instance of the sand stroke lays down grains of colored sand (pixel exposures) growing horizontally from left to right. For every layer of growth, the sand stroke deposits precisely the same number of sand grains despite the magnitude of the wave. This produces a very interesting density modulation across an even mass of sand.
